First Looks: Waihona Kino (Body Archive)
Advertisement
Location: Margaret Greenham Theatre
Waihona Kino (Body Archive) brings two internationally recognized Kānaka Maoli (Native Hawaiian) artists to Banff Centre. Dance and visual art join forces through the work of choreographer and dancer (Tau) Peter Rockford Espiritu and cultural bearer Marques Hanalei Marzan. Rounding out the team is Hawai'i-born director Roberta Uno and award-winning projection designer Joan Osato.
The presentation is the first of two performances in the First Looks series, culminating this summer’s Dance Production Residency. After three weeks of development, experimentation, and technical fine-tuning, a pair of unique pieces will meet audiences, capping off the participants’ creative journey.
It’s a rare chance to see the next great dance show before they hit international stages—don't miss yours.
